Wireless Service in NYC Subways
Hate losing that signal when you walk down to take the subway? Good news for smartphone users looking to stream their music or update their Twitter feeds as they wait for the train. NYC has begun rolling out wireless voice and data services in their subway platforms.
The service is powered by AT&T and T-Mobile, providing commutes with access to the mobile network on the subway platforms. While currently installed in only four of the most trafficked areas (14th Street, 23rd Street), the city plans to install the service across the rest of its 271 stations in the next four years.
